Topic: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD - OT

...Well this was unexpected....they better throw in the missing dungeon here. >.>

Red Steel 3 was Ubisoft but, be that as it may, I think you're right. Much as I'd love another game like that I think we may have seen the end of motion control brawlers for a while. It's a shame. I'm playing NG3 right now and the button controls just feel so old after that.

Yeah I think these are still very early screens, they're bound to tweak the artstyle a lot over the next few months. By the time we see moving footage I'll be completely convinced.

Looking forward to this since I missed out on the GameCube era.

If only they would get away from the dang cell shaded graphics. I just cant play a Zelda game that looks like it should be in an episode of South Park.

I'll definetly be getting this! I've never played Wind Waker and can't wait to play this!

@3Dash - I was a late adopter of Wind Waker, and I loved it. It has it's own distinct feel and atmosphere, and I found it enjoyable to explore the islands and sea. I am looking forward to seeing this HD revamp when it's done.

Is that truely the only reason you've never liked it! I think the art design opened up the gameplay and animation to the point it was the best playing and most fun of the series! OOT is a close second but there is something that just all came together in Wind Waker that made it special!

Then just wait for the new one and give this a miss? It's actually nice to have a different take on things, not all need to look realistic. It's pretty sad that you'd possibly skip a game over its looks. Surely you didn't skip the handheld titles as well?

Yep. I know it might be shallow of me but I just cant take it seriously due to the graphics. But on the same page I know people who cant take Borderlands as a serious FPS due to the cell shaded graphics. I have tried to play Wind Waker several times on the GC and I just cant past the graphics.

Yes I did but thats cause I didnt really have the money at the time when GBA games came out.

No doubt... That was during my college years so between that, chasing woman, Halo, and recovering form hang over's I had no time for Gamecube. I would not be against Nintendo re-mastering some more of their hits that I missed from that Land of the Lost era!

Then I warn you to not try out Minish Cap and both DS titles, especially the latter because of Toon Link being back(even though they were still excellent games!). Did you get to play the Gameboy/Color titles? Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Link's Awakening...all great games.

I know a lot of people hated the art direction they choose for this one. Many were excited to see what a OOT style game would look like on the cube since the graphics were a Hugh step up! Hopefully this remake will satisfy you to the point you can finish it as its quite enjoyable!

@Chriiis: I have played Link's Awakening both the origianl and the DX version but I have never played Oracle of Seasons/Ages. To be honest I wasn't a big handheld player till the 3DS even though I had a Gameboy from day one. Handhelds always played a back seat to home consoles for me during my youth and when I got older I just didnt have the money to sink into games. Heck as it is now I am discovering DS games for the first time on the my 3DS.

@Tech101: Yeah maybe I will give it try and rent it from Gamefly but as of now there are other games at the top of my list that I rather play on the Wii U.

With the systems being pretty cheap thanks to aging, you should really give the older handheld games a chance. It's even easier to do so for them since you can take them with you. Since you can play the DS games on a 3DS, all you'd need is a GBA (preferably SP) for the GBC titles and Minish Cap. What did you think of Link's Awakening?

I would've prefered Majora's Mask but I won't complain! Looks beautiful, I so hope for some extra content too!

I'm looking forward to this. I think it will be $30-40, and maybe an eShop exclusive? I think Nintendo will discount this game if it's eShop only... The graphics are alot more colorful, and I'm sure it's at least 2 times better presentation wise. Day 1 for me.

Looks great and although I haven't kept the Zelda games I bought on Wii (the only ones I've ever played), I did enjoy them and play through them to conclusion so I'll give this a whirl too.

The announcement about the all new one sounded great with the break from linearity and hints at multiplayer questing.

No way Nintendo's not putting this out on retail. It's still the best option to make the most money and exposure. I also think the price will be 40$ or more as it looks like a lot of work will go into this. After all OOT 3ds was not a bargin price.
